A thread to bring together the most gorgeous pop melodies you've ever heard

And Stan Kenton's "Eager Beaver"...

 

If you don't have any appreciation for the melody in this song, you are dead inside. Just kidding. I've just always wanted to say that.

 

Flamin' Groovies- Shake Some Action

 

The Cascades, Rhythm of the Rain:

 

The Seekers had great melodies on a number of their songs. Their versions of Kumbaya and other folk tunes are great to listen to . Imho, their version of The Water is Wide is the definitive for that song. It is worth it to get their EMI box and the seekers complete. I only knew of their singles in the US. I took a chance on a box set and now have all their songs on my mp3 along with the beatles. Though it may seem redundant, their capitol collections disk has alternate takes on a few of their hits.

Another great song by the Big O, and quite a bit more complex in structure, not unlike Crying and In Dreams...
